"Is There Anybody Out There?"

     Is there anybody out there, It's a repetitive lyric in the song "Is There Anybody Out There?" from the Album "The Wall" by Pink Floyd. The lead singer sings it multiple times, plays a classical guitar solo, and the song ends. Does this sound like your prayer life; knees face down, testing the spiritual climate with a few words of repentance, paraphrasing the Lord's Prayer, feelings of boredom and frustration ensue, topped off with silence, no response. What did you do wrong, did you not say the right words, enter in with the wrong attitude, leaving with a worse one? Certainly not. In the days of old, before Jesus, if one wished to enter into the presence of God you had to be a chosen priest and follow strict rules and procedures, mess up, and it could cost you your life, seriously. But one came with greater glory than any other, and that man was Jesus; He alone has made a way to the Father. It is by the Son of God's sacrifice alone that allows us to enter that place, where God sits on His throne of grace in the holy of holies. The veil separating God and man was torn when Christ died on the cross, making a way, that was impossible up until that pivotal point in history, to commune with the Father. If you do not accept this reality, or fully understand it, you may want to do some further research of your own. Nonetheless i still believe that even if you are not a follower of Christ, God will meet you where you're at, and He loves all people just the same. Whether or not a child listens, obeys, or does as the father commands, He still loves the child; and do not compare this love with the affections of your earthly father, for your father in Heaven created you, your are His beloved, His joy, the Apple of His eye, please, let Him reveal and release the immeasurable blessings, love and joy He has promised you from heaven, only allow Him to speak. So give Him time, have hope and look for the answer, asking the Holy Spirit for guidance. Be specific and read His word. God often speaks to me through scripture more than anything else. Ask, seek, and knock, and if it is the Lord's will, count it as answered.
     I am still learning how to hear God on a greater level, but i can tell you that it is much easier than one may think. I have learned a few things along the way that help, and a few that hinder. If anyone has some advice and wisdom of their own, please leave a comment, were all here on earth together to discover if there is anybody out there, and there is One up there that is waiting for your revelation with more anticipation than you are, He has made a place for you to dwell, will you listen to what He has to say?
